GPSMAP 168 Sounder Getting Started Tour
The GARMIN GPSMAP 168 Sounder is a powerful electronic navigation system that provides
detailed map coverage and convenient control of many advanced features right from the screen display.
This tour is designed to take you through the basic pages and functions of the system using the
simulator mode. Once you're familiar with the main pages and functions of the unit, refer to the
Reference section for instructions on performing specifi c tasks and functions.
The Getting Started tour assumes that the receiver has been properly installed and initialized, and
you have not changed any of the default unit settings. If you have changed any settings (position
formats, units of measure, etc.), the descriptions and pictures in the tour may not match your
confi guration.

1. Press and hold the POWER key until the power tone sounds, then release the POWER key. The
Welcome Page will appear while the unit conducts a self-test.
2. Once the self-test is complete, press the ENTER/MARK key, if you agree, to acknowledge the
warning.
The Status Page will appear as the receiver begins acquiring satellites. From the Status Page or any
other page, you may also adjust the screen contrast and backlighting.
To adjust the screen contrast:
1. Press POWER and the Light and Contrast window will appear.
2. To decrease or increase the screen contrast, press LEFT or RIGHT on the ARROW KEYPAD.
3. Press the ENTER/MARK key to fi nish.
The GPSMAP 168 Sounder adjustable screen backlighting is controlled with the POWER key, and
may be adjusted at any time from any page. The backlight can cycle through off, user-defi ned, and
